    I think your story is inspiring! Great Job on all the work you have done.
    I started my journey last year after I went to the Biggest loser open call. Not getting on the show really made me see that I didn't want to wait for another season, I wanted to do then. So I started going to weight watchers, I did that for about 6 months and I lost 20 lbs. I was on and off with it and I know I could have done better, but all I could do was look to the future. I was lucky enough to have a gym membership to a great place in my town, I started do really hard boot camps 3-4 days a week, and then I found myself signing up for a 5k training course. Before I knew I was doing running over 3 miles and I had gone from 249lbs to 214lbs. 35 was gone and I could not believe it. Now I am training for a half marathon, I am not even close to my goal weight wise but I feel like I have accomplished so much and come so far.

    Thank you for sharing your story.

    You look amazing!!!! I think most of us have tried silly things until we found the not so secret formula: eat less, move more. LOL But congrats on your success!:drinker:

    Success in life is not about being perfect. It is about being as true as you can be one day at a time. Which is all we really have anyway. Focus on doing something today that your future self will thank you for. One day, one pound, one success at a time and let go of the negative feelings about the not so good days. Negative feelings only lead to additional failure. Think positive for positive results. Congratulations on your success!!! You look gorgeous!

    Great job! You're gorgeous! And I don't think ANYONE has a "perfect" weight loss journey (or any kind of journey, for that matter...)! Thank you so much for sharing your story!

    imperfection is how we all got here to begin with and its the way I will continue on my journey to a new life!
    Big congrats on your success! You look fabulous!!
    I have a question.. when you go to buy clothes do you believe that you fit into the size you now where? Thats where I have a problem.. I will pull out a size that is at least one size too big... my brain has a hard time realizing I am smaller!!


    Super job!!
